Flowtoys makes the best lighted juggling props ever. Here I am at their headquarters in Emeryville with the Vision juggling clubs. #juggling #jugglers #flowtoys #flowjam
Because Trump has already shown he will fund parts of government he wants, and defund the rest. No, there’s no negotiating with the Republicans. It’s Trump’s agenda regardless of what you do. Short answer: It ends when the American people stand up and say they’ve had enough.

I highly recommend the Cisco certification path for everyone who needs to understand networking.
1) plutocrats and their political action committees, (2) petrostates and their politicians and polluters, (3) fake and venal professionals—physicians and professors, (4) propagandists, especially those with podcasts, and (5) the press. The general tactic is that (1) and (2) hire (3) to generate…
Remember that band Devo?

Then tell him to put his differences aside and support the Democratic nominee for city Mayor now! You cannot expect votes from progressives when you don’t respect the Democratic primary process yourself. Endorse the Democratic primary winner Zohran Mamdani now!
And he will continue to take AIPAC money and withhold support from the Democratic nominee for New York City Mayor. I say you can’t call yourself a Democrat when you withhold support for our nominee whenever it suits your big Israeli donors.

Yeah, there must at least be a plan in place to bring back highly exploitable non-unionized construction laborers. The US economy depends on cheap labor.
But then they wouldn’t be undocumented and exploitable. They would be documented and unionized right?
This isn’t Korea. If the US really needs so many foreign workers, why not document and unionize them?

And if it’s a crime, how can the company get away with this? Where’s the accountability with the management?
National ownership of factories (the means of production) is the definition of socialism. If you’re confused by this, it’s because they’ve been falsely conflating socialism with welfare. Like corporate welfare.
Vladimir Putin will face “very severe consequences” if he does not agree a ceasefire in the war in Ukraine at his summit with Donald Trump in Alaska, the US president said on Wednesday.

And withdraw troops from Ukraine! Like, not invade Ukraine, would and the war right there. Tell Trump if he wants to end the war, he should tell Putin to withdraw troops from Ukraine and go back to Russia.

Newsom: If California, one of the most un-Trumped states in America, is not successful, it’s at our peril. We may not get this back. I’m telling you, we may not.

He is rigging this next midterm election before one vote is cast. He tried to wreck our democracy after the last vote was cast last time.
It seems a very “in your face” response to the whole “manosphere” thing.
